The Torrent has a wingspan of 12 feet and can carry up to five pounds of payload.

It is man-portable, assembles in minutes, lands without any ancillary equipment and can be packed in a small carry case, making it attractive to both military and commercial users. Special emphasis on the airframe design and stability, and cutting-edge battery and propulsion design, allows The Torrent to achieve silent flight durations in excess of six hours on batteries alone and over ten hours with optional solar cells, all while maintaining a cruising speed of 45 MPH. This lightweight, all-electric, hand-launchable platform is highly regarded for its flight performance, endurance and ease of use. Since The Torrent’s unveiling in May of 2013, industry experts have responded well to the competitive advantages of the small plane, which is the first ever fixed-wing UAS to be designed and developed in Michigan. Merrill Aviation & Defense has announced that it has received a special Experimental Airworthiness Certification for its unmanned aerial system (UAS) named The Torrent, following final meetings with the UAS Integration Office of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Washington D.C., the Grand Rapids Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) and the Detroit Manufacturing Inspection Satellite Offices (MISO).
